18 IP Services
This chapter describes the following IP services:
DNS – Configures default domain names, identifies servers to use for dynamic
lookup, and shows how to configure static entries.
Multicast DNS – Configures multicast DNS host name-to-address mapping on
the local network without the need for a dedicated DNS server.
DHCP – Configures client, relay, dynamic provisioning, and DHCP server.
DHCPv6 Relay – Enables the switch as a DHCPv6 Relay Agent and configures
destination addresses or VLAN IDs to which client DHCPv6 messages are
forwarded.
PPPoE Intermediate Agent – Configures PPPoE Intermediate Agent (PPPoE IA)
relay parameters required for passing authentication messages between a
client and broadband remote access servers.
Domain Name Service
DNS service on this switch allows host names to be mapped to IP addresses using
static table entries or by redirection to other name servers on the network. When a
client device designates this switch as a DNS server, the client will attempt to
resolve host names into IP addresses by forwarding DNS queries to the switch, and
waiting for a response.
You can manually configure entries in the DNS table used for mapping domain
names to IP addresses, configure default domain names, or specify one or more
name servers to use for domain name to address translation.
